How to Calculate BPM Manually
Beats Per Minute (BPM) is the standard unit for measuring tempo. While digital tools like this Tap BPM Counter are instant, you can calculate it manually by counting beats for 15 seconds and multiplying by 4.
Common Genre Tempos
- Hip Hop: 85 - 100 BPM
- House: 115 - 130 BPM
- Techno: 120 - 140 BPM
- Dubstep: 140 BPM (often felt as 70 BPM)
- Drum & Bass: 170 - 180 BPM
Why Use a Tap Counter?
DJs use tap counters to beatmatch songs when the software analysis fails. Musicians use them to find the tempo of a sample or to synchronize delay effects to a live band.
